	Solar (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was exposed to a massive amount of radiation in an attempt to rescue a fellow worker (Dr. Bentley) sabotaging a nuclear power facility.
		In the early 1990s, the rights to Doctor Solar, Turok, and Magnus, Robot Fighter were licensed by Valiant Comics, which planned to use the characters as part of Jim Shooter's new superhero line.
		Solar went on to have many adventures, fighting a wide variety of threats, from Spider Aliens to malevolent Harbingers to Mothergod.

	Sun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solar activity is thought to have played a large role in the formation and evolution of the solar system, and strongly affects the structure of Earth's outer atmosphere.
		The solar constant is equal to approximately 1,370 watts per square meter of area at a distance of one AU from the Sun (that is, on or near Earth).
		Partial solar eclipses are hazardous to view because the eye's pupil is not adapted to the unusually high visual contrast: the pupil dilates according to the total amount of light in the field of view, not by the brightest object in the field.

	Solar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In English medieval great houses and castles, the main room was known as the Great Hall, in which all parts of the household would eat and live, with those of highest status being at the end, often on a raised dais, and those of lesser status further down the hall.
		The solar was a room for their particular benefit, in which they could be alone (or sole) and away from the hustle, bustle, noise and smells (including cooking smells) of the Great Hall.
		The solar was generally smaller than the Great Hall, because it was not expected to accommodate so many people, but it was a room of comfort and status, and usually included a fireplace and often decorative woodwork or wall hangings.

		Humanity's knowledge of the solar interior comes from a combination of analytic and computer modeling of stars, and helioseismology, the study of sound waves that travel through the Sun's interior.
		From about 0.7 solar radii to 1.0 solar radii, the material in the Sun is neither dense nor hot enough to transfer the heat energy of the interior outward.
		A solar wind sample return mission, Genesis, was designed to allow astronomers to directly measure the composition of solar material.

	Bristol & Solar Wind
		Solar Wind is an independently published anthology comic, with the basis on humour.
		It is a great shame that the creators of the comic strips in here have mistaken silliness for humour in their approach, so despite my appreciate for the free cosmic rod I have to say that I do not think this comic deserved to win.
		For a comic to win it has to be the best and there are so many that are so much better in the independent comics field.

		Current topics of scientific study include the sun's regular cycle of sunspot activity, the physics and origin of solar flares and prominences, the magnetic interaction between the chromosphere and the corona, and the origin of the solar wind.
		The heliosphere, which may be considered the tenuous outer atmosphere of the Sun, extends outward past the orbit of Pluto to the heliopause, where it forms a sharp shock front boundary with the interstellar medium.
		The plasma in the interplanetary medium is also responsible for the strength of the Sun's magnetic field at the orbit of the Earth.

		Cross is one of the world's greatest comic book storytellers, a man who deeply invests himself in the emotion of the moment and strives to convey not only the script but the subtext of the script, the emotional center of the moment.
		SOLAR v2's collective conscious knits together the emotional and psychic echoes of the third sibling which were bonded to Frank and Helena, making the composite being not only an amalgam of the twins but a unique individual in his own right.
		Solar confronts the original Solar, demanding he take the power back, and ends up confronting his own inner hell— the icky family secret he and his sister have carried all their lives.

	Doctor Solar Man of the Atom
		Gold Key comics were also slightly larger than other Silver Age comics, and most of the early issues had painted rather than penciled, inked and colored covers.
		After a snack of a radioactive cobalt pill, Solar heads into the ocean and turns on the juice, electrolyzing water into a cocoon of hydrogen and oxygen gas.
		Solar notices that the detonator has caused a crack in the ocean floor which activates the nearby volcano.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom
		Like many fledgling comics characters of the early 1960s, Doctor Solar was a superhero.
		The first few covers (before the advent of Solar's costumed identity) were painted by science fiction artist Richard Powers, whose impressionistic, other-worldly covers and illustrations had won him science fiction's prestigious Hugo Award, but who has done no other work in comics.
		His comic was published regularly until 1969 and revived for a few issues in 1981-82, with a couple of odd stories finding their way into a 1970s spook comic called The Occult Files of Dr. Spektor.

		In the opening story, straight out of the cold war 1960's, a colleague of Solar is distraught over the proliferation of nuclear weapons and gives a cryptic warning about something that will happen several weeks into the future before he dies of a heart attack.
		Solar uses his atomic abilities to travel to the exact time in the future that the warning gave.
		Solar has found that his own powers have decreased because his body doesn't have enough mass to hold the atomic energy.

	Frank Bolle Cartoonist and Illustrator
		He was there when comics were the norm for every kid on every corner in America; he was drawing those books for them.
		In fact, he worked on so many popular and successful comics over the years that remembering Frank Bolle as the artist on Doctor Solar is like remembering Jack Kirby as 'that guy who did those Eternals comics a while back'.
		Today you go into any comics store and they have 3 million books for you to choose from, back then there were 10, 20, 30 books per month out and every kid bought them, every kid had them.

		Doctor Phillip Solar (his first name is never used in this volume)is involved in a nuclear accident, his whole body is rebuilt at an atomic level, making him a "man of the atom", allowing him great power.
		This is one of the strengths of this volume: Nuro deduces Solar's existence only about issue four, whereas Solar doesn't even consider that there is a maestro of the events in the series until issue seven.
		Solar was in many ways different from other out-and-out super-heroes of the time.

	Eventually Clever » 2002 » May
		Not only is this one of my favourite opening pages of any comic (Earth as seen from space, and a tiny glowing figure in the foreground), but it also marked the full-blooded craze of my comics collecting.
		The conceit is high-concept: Dr. Phil Seleski loved reading Doctor Solar comics as kid so much that he became a nuclear physicist in emulation of his childhood hero.
		This is heady, ambitious material for a comic book series, and was almost too much for the entire Valiant universe to handle.

	The Original Wold Newton Universe Crossover Chronology Part X
		The "Solar" character in the 1990s Valiant comics "remake" of the Gold Key characters (Valiant dropped the "Dr") was someone who read Dr. Solar comics as a kid.
		The Gold Key Dr. Solar was not connected to any of the Valiant characters, and thus, for my purposes, Dr. Solar and Solar can be treated as separate characters existing in separate continuities.
		Solar (whose powers were much less than those of Solar) can be seen as an atomic hero archetype.
